My 2021 Intention - Be More Conscious

I’ve learned through the years and learned from others that the notion of a New Year’s Resolution is a bit outdated. Most are based on a definitive goal that is definitively either met or not met, and many of those goals are quite unrealistic. Hence, most are not met.

So last year I scrapped making a New Year’s Resolution and instead made a statement of intention for me to follow for the year. In other words, I stated how I wanted to “be” in 2020. At the time, I stated that I wanted to “be better.” “Be better” in all that I do. I tried. It was a tough year, but I tried.

This year for 2021, I’m going to take a page out of my own book for how I intend to “be” this year. From the book I released in May 2020 called “The Conscious Marketer.”

I want to “be more conscious.” More conscious of the world around me as I take action, behave, and move through the world. More conscious of how my actions affect others. More conscious of how I can be more helpful to people in what we know will continue to be a difficult year, at least for the next several months.

To “be more conscious” means to put your needs and POV aside and to assess those of others first. And then act and behave with that knowledge in hand.

To “be more conscious” means to understand the world as best you can and act appropriately.

To “be more conscious” means to be a better person, so it’s a great extension for my intention from 2020.

I want to live this way. I want to make this happen. I can make 2021 a better year!
